Kenyan personality Akoth Kokeyo has opened up about her years-long health battle, recounting an extremely personal experience that touched the hearts of numerous fans on social media.
Posting openly, Akoth said that she has been diagnosed with chronic migraines, blood clot, and fibroids on the uterus, problems that have transformed her pattern of living and life outlook quite significantly.
It is most of you who have asked why there is such a drastic change in my lifestyle… Life slowed me down,” she began.
Akoth posted a harrowing experience with medication for her blood clot, leaving her out cold for three hours following the onset of an intense reaction. “The physicians clarified that it was a case of over-sedation and my body responded aggressively to the drug,” she stated.
The experience was a turning point. Akoth says she’s learning now that toughness is not about grunting through the pain but it is listening to her body and prioritizing her peace.
“I no longer scream, struggle, or take unnecessary stress. My peace is my prescription. My calm is my survival.”
Akoth also posted about women quietly suffering pain behind their smiles in her post, assuring them that they are not damaged they are in the process of becoming.
She injected some humor into the mood by applying some sarcasm, joking that she was “Fibroids Migraines Bloodclot Akoth Kokeyo” and dismissing trolls who might use her situation to mock her.
If any of them succeed or time comes, please bury me within 48 hours. If it reaches me abroad, do not struggle to bring back my body. Enjoy me now that we can engage show me love now.
